Catering to your aircraft in Yanji.
At Yanji in Jilin Province the aircraft come in over snow in winter and green hills in summer, and the food on board should match. Former VIP flight attendants pack your order and deliver it plane-side at ZYYJ.
We know the galley, the diet card and the 5 a.m. re-plate — because we lived them. So we built the caterer we always wished we could call.
Fourteen years on VIP and head-of-state cabins. Can plate for twelve in a G650 galley and still land it hot.
The one who reads every diet card twice. If it says no cross-contact, it means no cross-contact.
Answers at 5 a.m. when the leg moved overnight. Same-day swaps are her love language.
Yanji is the seat of the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture in Jilin Province, and the private jet menu we build for Chaoyangchuan follows that table. A Yanji inflight menu leans on Korean-Chinese cooking: cold buckwheat noodles in a beef broth, grilled Yanbian beef with the dipping salt on the side, kimchi from the prefecture, and rice cakes in a red chili sauce.
Private jet food that travels well from this region is mostly cold-friendly: pickled vegetables, braised beef sliced per passenger, sticky rice, and river fish from the Tumen basin. Rich soups and anything fried we pack apart so it can be re-plated in the galley. These local specialities become private jet platters, gourmet inflight meals and private jet snacks on the Chaoyangchuan menu, and the Yanji details sit in every line.

Yanji sits in the Korean autonomous prefecture of Jilin Province, and a Chaoyangchuan galley order often starts with cold noodles and grilled beef rather than the usual canape tray. Our private jet catering for ZYYJ is packed by former VIP flight attendants for the galley you actually have, and our inflight catering covers sealed trays for delegations as well as the crew. Aviation catering at YNJ is handed over at the FBO or by your handling agent, with business aviation catering, executive jet catering and in-flight catering sized to the aircraft. Diplomatic flight catering is cleared in advance, and cabin crew meals are ordered on request and invoiced like the rest.
Business jet catering at Yanji is usually a short brief: a few executives flying from Seoul or Shenyang, one oven, one drawer. Our corporate jet catering and VIP flight catering for charter flight catering and luxury inflight catering is run by a private jet chef who writes a bespoke menu around the galley and the cabin.
Government flight catering at Yanji is handled through protocol: the menu is approved before cooking, the team is named and the trays are sealed. Head of state flight catering and VIP aviation catering for state visit aircraft catering stay discreet, with seat-numbered labels only.
Kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free and allergen free meals are handled as a procedure in a Korean-Chinese kitchen: soy sauce and wheat noodles hide gluten, sesame oil and shellfish paste hide allergens, and beef broth hides itself in vegetarian soups. Special meals at Yanji are packed apart, marked by seat number, and kids meals are built around plain rice, mild beef and fruit.
A sheet per guest. Separate boards, separate boxes.
Sealed, certificate in the same box.

Vegan, low-carb, light — composed, never compromised.
At Yanji the flight deck asks for crew meals with the trip, and they appear on the invoice as their own line. Flight crew meals for a quick turnaround are hot or cold boxes, pilot meals are packed for one-handed eating, and cabin crew meals can differ from the cockpit. Crew catering marks every box CREW, cockpit meals stay apart from guest trays, and crew meal boxes can carry different meals for pilots when the policy asks for it.
FBO catering at Yanji Chaoyangchuan means catering delivery to the FBO or the general aviation terminal, where your handling agent opens the apron gate. Ground handling catering and handling agent catering are coordinated so the trays reach the aircraft on your slot.
Larger business jets and VIP airliners at Yanji Chaoyangchuan need a high loader, and the galley decides what rides up first. Galley catering and airside catering delivery are planned around the aircraft type, the door height and the amount of ice and trays the galley can actually take. Aircraft provisioning is confirmed with your handling agent before the slot.

ZYYJ is the gateway to Yanbian and the Changbai Mountain area in Jilin Province, and for business aviation it works as a small regional hub rather than a busy one. General aviation is occasional, so airport catering is planned flight by flight rather than from a standing schedule.
Visitors to the Changbai Mountain area and cross-border delegations make up most of the business aviation at Yanji, a quiet business aviation hub where each arrival is handled on its own. We supply inflight catering and in-flight catering for those flights, plus aviation catering and business aviation catering as needed. Executive jet catering, diplomatic flight catering and cabin crew meals follow the same ordering route, crew meals are ordered with the trip, and general aviation, FBO services and ground handling services are all coordinated through your FBO and handling agent.
China controls what food enters and leaves, and at Yanji Chaoyangchuan meat, dairy and fresh produce are inspected. For a business aviation hub of this size, sourcing inside China is the simple route: local ingredients keep your order clear of import rules.
Average rating from the cabin crew and pilots we cater for.
“Keeping the galley organised at ZYYJ meant planning vegetable tartlets and a dessert selection for 7 guests with an evening cabin service in mind. When comparing private jet catering companies, I would look closely at written menu details after this experience. The Galley Girls talked through the quantities of canapés with us before confirmation, rather than leaving us to guess the portions. There was enough information about the fruit plates to brief the crew without making assumptions about what had been ordered.”
“Between cabin checks at YNJ, I coordinated chicken skewers with a couscous salad for 8 guests and explained our concerns about a revised passenger count. My search for "private jet catering near me" led to a practical conversation about meal organisation. The Galley Girls suggested individual containers for the main courses, and that choice worked well with our storage arrangement. We placed the fruit plates in their planned storage area without first having to reorganise all the catering boxes.”
“An order of mushroom risotto and a green salad for 5 people at Yanji Chaoyangchuan Airport had to be organised around a short ground stop. With several people involved, The Galley Girls kept the starters and delivery arrangements together in a concise order update. Knowing where the side dishes were packed meant the crew could begin the relevant checks as soon as the order arrived. The order made private jet catering menu feel manageable because the cabin service sequence had been considered beforehand.”
Empty cabin, short leg to Chaoyangchuan: the order is often just crew food and a snack basket. A basket of Jilin fruit with kimchi bites is modest in cost, whereas Yanbian beef for six is a different invoice.
Lead time for an official party depends on how fast the menu is approved, not on the noodles. We keep an approved dish list for Yanji so a repeat delegation can be loaded with little notice.
If your aircraft turns quickly at Yanji, keep food sourced inside China. Local noodle, beef and fruit orders avoid import inspection and are loaded to the slot your handling agent confirms.
Bringing your own food through Chaoyangchuan is possible, but fresh produce and meat from abroad may be stopped at customs, and galley space limits the rest. Local catering avoids both problems.
Charter and catering are two separate contracts at Yanji. An early morning departure just means we pack before dawn; the invoice is still its own.
Tail, pax and diets — a flight attendant takes it from there, day or night.
